Knowing how things work, putting it all together, and getting the toy to act like the real thing mean being a bit of an engineer. Even the best inventor needs a lot of help. Her team probably includes a designer to work on how the toy will look; some programmers to put in memory, moods, and personality; and somebody else to figure out what it will cost. She might even need to work with a puppeteer (拉线木偶表演者) to make the movements look natural.

Module 2 Fantasy Literature奇幻文学不仅是孩子们的最爱也让成年人爱不释手。
读下面的文章，了解奇幻文学的历史和现状。
The very first recorded literary works in history werefantasy: Homer's Odyssey，The Book of a Thousand nights anda Night and countless others.Modern literature forms are basedon them.Fantasy is particularly the only form of literature that has no clear boundaries between adult fiction and children's fiction.Lewis Carroll's books Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, for instance, were published over 100 years ago.The books were in fact written for a child—the original Alice, who was the daughter of a friend of Carroll's.However, they are just as often read by adults looking for an escape back to a simple time.A more modern example is J．K.Rowling's Harry Potter series, which have caused a revolution in the publishing world.While these again are aimed at a youth market，they have become a fashion for people of all ages.Recently, fantasy has enjoyed popularity，the main reason for the popularity is the success of The Lord of the Rings series of films.Fantasy novel sales have benefited from social change，with the original The Lord of the Rings novels，the Harry Potter series becoming a force on bestseller lists.Even more recently，a work of historical fantasy，Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, has caught the imagination of the world.The novel was on top of The New York Times' hardcover fiction bestseller list on April 11，2005.It is clear that fantasy is showing no signs of reducing in popularity.[阅读障碍词]1．boundary n．边界2．popularity n. 流行3．hardcover adj. 精装的[诱思导读]1．What is the very first recorded literary works in history?Fantasy.2．What do you think of fantasy literature's future?It will continuously enjoy popularity.Section ⅠWarming Up，Prereading & ReadingⅠ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思( )1.behave A．n.渴望( )2.hesitate B. n．怀疑( )3.doubt C．n.方向( )4.direction D．n.惊慌，恐慌( )5.bite E．n.形状( )6.longing F．v.表现，举动( )7.arch G．v.犹豫，迟疑( )8.alarm H．v.咬，咬伤( )9.shape I．v.拱起，成弓形( )10.roughly J．adv.大概地，粗略地[答案] 1－5 FGBCH 6－10 AIDEJⅡ.选择下列句中词组的汉语意思our daily life.2．When he saw the policeman coming up to him, he felt a little nervous.3．She held out her hand, touched the cloth and found it was smooth.4．When we find someone in trouble, we shouldn't turn away.5．Don't keep your eyes on the screen too long, it's bad for your eyes.6．When you stopped eating, you should put down the knife and fork.7．When John heard the good news, a wave of excitement swept over him.8．Mr.Lee is looking around for his pet dog now.If you see it, please call himat this number.[答案] 1－5 ADCEG 6－8 BFHThe Cat That VanishedWill was stupefied(神志不清的) with exhaustion(疲惫), and he might have gone on to the north, or he might have laid his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear his head①， he saw a cat.消失的猫威尔累得脑子都木了，他本可以继续向北走，也有可能在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去；但是，正当他站在那儿，尽力让头脑清醒些的时候，他看见了一只猫。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Prereading 1．Everybody has to eat, but do you eat a healthy diet in your daily life?2．What should we eat according to the following passage?Sometimes people are curious to know what type of food is healthy and what kind of food may hurt our health.The United States' Department of Agriculture has prepared a small book to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat. The book describes six basic food groups: meat, dairy (things made from milk), grains, fruits, and vegetables. The last group is fat, oil, and sweets.As a result of years of research, we know that too much fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Because of this, they often get cancer and heart disease. In Japan, on the other hand, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. They also have a very low rate (比率) of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than people in any other country. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rate of heart disease and cancer increases as their diet changes. What's more, as hamburgers and other highfat foods become common in Japan, the rate of heartdisease and cancer is increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba and Hungary. It's no surprise that the disease rate in these countries is increasing along with the change in diet. Therefore, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables, and eat less meat and dairy products.Warming Up1．Discuss the picture in pairs, and answer the following questions.①Are they healthy?They_are_both_unhealthy._The_short_person_is_too_fat_while_the_taller_is_to o_thin._②What should they do with the problem?I_think_they_need_have_a_healthy_and_balanced_diet_and_do_enough_physical_e xercise.③What is a healthy diet?A_healthy_diet_is_a_diet_that_is_balanced_and_neither_too_rich_in_fat,_suga r_and_salt_nor_too_poor_and_lacking_in_essential_nutrients.2．Look at the following pictures.Do you know that the food you eat helps you grow in different ways?(1)They are energygiving_food,_which provide energy.(2)They are bodybuilding_food,_which help grow bones and muscles.(3)They are protective_food,_which help the body fight diseases.Fast ReadingScan the passage and then choose the best answers according to the passage.1．When Wang Peng thought “Nothing could be better”， he means ________.A．his food and drink were the bestB．his food and drink were the worstC．his food should have been improvedD．he could do nothing with his food and drink2．Why did Wang Peng go into the newlyopened restaurant?A．Because he was angry.B．Because he was curious.C．Because he wanted to blame its owner.D．Because he wanted to ask for advice.3．Wang Peng was amazed when he saw the menu of Yong Hui's restaurant because ________.A．there were only raw vegetables and water served in Yong Hui's restaurantB．there were more choices of food and drink served in Yong Hui's restaurantC．the food and drink in Yong Hui's restaurant were more expensive than those in his restaurantD．Yong Hui's menu gave customers more energygiving food4.Wang Peng suggested that they provide a combined menu because ________.A．he liked Yong HuiB．he didn't want to lose his customersC．he thought his menu was betterD．this would provide a balanced diet5．What can we learn from Wang Peng's research in the library?A．Wang Peng's restaurant offered a balanced diet.B．Yong Hui's restaurant offered a balanced diet.C．Both of the restaurants offered a balanced diet.D．Neither of the two restaurants offered a healthy diet.答案：1～5 ABCDDCareful Reading1．Read the passage and then answer the following questions.(1)How did Wang Peng feel at the restaurant?

In fact, there was weakness in Wang Peng's menu, too. Food at his restaurant contains too much fat. So the only solution is to combine the two menus together to be a balanced menu.DiscussionIf you are a manager of a restaurant, what should you do?As_a_manager_of_a_restaurant,_I_will_serve_my_customers_the_healthy_foods_w hich_are_full_of_energy_and_fibre.Besides,_the_prices_will_be_acceptable_for_most_customers.。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Prereading 1．What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning?2．Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them?Please read the following passage to get the answer.A new study of plants that are reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical.Scientists have known for some time that cloned organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that they are derived (获得) from genetically identical founder cells.Now, a team from Oxford University, the UK, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, believe they have found out why this is the case in plants: the genomes (染色体) of regenerate plants carry relatively high frequencies of new DNA sequence mutations (变异) that were not present in the genome of the donor plant.The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology.“Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery，” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can sayis that nature has safely been employing what you might call a ’cloning’process in plants for millions of years, and that there must be good evolutionary reasons why these mutations are introduced.”The new results suggest that variation in clones of plants may have different underlying causes from those of variation in clones of animals — where it is believed that the effect of environmental factors on how animal genes are expressed is more important and no similar high frequencies of mutations have been observed.Professor Harberd said, “While our results highlight that cloned plants and animals are very different, they may give us insights into how bacterial and cancer cells replicate themselves, and how mutations arise during these processes which, ultimately, have an impact on human health.”Warming Up1．How much do are natural clone and manmade clone?Clone_is_a_way_of_making_an_exact_copy_of_another_animal_or_plant.Natural_clone_is_one_that_occurs_from_the_“parent”_in_a_natural_form_of_ cloning_without_human_help.Manmade_clone_is_one_produced_through_human_intervention_(介入)．2．Look at these pictures and tell which ones are natural clones and which ones are manmade clones.Natural_clones：AF；Manmade_clones：BCDE3．See another kind of clone.

One is3.that gardeners use it to produce commercial quantities of plants. The4.other is that it is valuable for research on new species and for medical research on animals.5.However,_the process of cloning is difficult to undertake.Many attempts to clone mammals failed.

It all starts in the inventor's imagination. Thinking of what would be fun and how it would look means that the inventor has to be creative — like an artist. And, maybe a little like a kid, too! She does some drawings, looks at how other toys work, and decides what parts she needs. Then, she starts building a model called a prototype (原型). The prototype is the starting point for testing and improving the design. Robotic toys are complicated, though.

Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — ComprehendingⅠ.阅读理解AFrom the nation's earliest days, farming has played a very important role in American economy and culture. Early in the nation's life, farmers were seen as typical examples of economic qualities such as hardworking, honest, kindhearted and independent.American farmers think a number of factors lead to the success of their agriculture: The American Midwest has some of the richest soil in the world. Rainfall is enough over most areas of the country; even in some areas where there is not enough rainfall, the rivers and underground water can also support the farming. Besides, large capital investments (资本投入) and highly trained farmers have also been used to develop American agriculture.The first two decades of the 20th century turned out to be the golden age of American agriculture. Farm prices were high as the demand (需求) for goods increased and land values rose. With the development of technology, the food production continued to increase. The good years of the early 20th century ended with falling prices following World War Ⅰ. At the end of World War Ⅱ， the farm economy faced the challenge of overproduction. During that time, because of progress in technology, some advanced machines and chemicals related to farming were widely used, and that meant production per hectare (公顷) was higher than ever. Today, we see a different set of farms trying to meet consumers'demands all over the world.We can see a lot of changes on American agriculture over time. In 1940, there were 6 million farms averaging 67 hectares each. By the late 1990s, there were only about 2.2 million farms averaging 190 hectares in size. During the same period, farm employment decreased greatly —from 12.5 million in 1930 to 1.2 million in the 1990s. While production has doubled over the last 50 years, the number of farms has dropped by more than twothirds. Today, about 150,000 American farmers produce most of our food.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Establishing a human colony on the Moon and travelling to Mars has been the stuff of dreams since the dawn of the space age.But these visions face many hurdles (障碍). How can humans survive for months or years in the ultra-hostile (极端恶劣的) environment of space? What, for instance, will they eat?Agricultural researchers at a Dutch university say they are taking the first steps towards providing an answer.They are growing vegetables in soils similar to those found on the Moon and Mars, looking for ways of helping space pioneers grow their own crops. “When people go to the Moon and Mars they also have to eat, and it's easiest for them to grow their own food，”said Wieger Wamelink, surrounded by several dozen plants in a special greenhouse at Wageningen, an agricultural university in central Netherlands.“We wanted to use real Martian and lunar soil, to see if plants would actually grow in it，” Wamelink told reporters.Of course, getting real lunar and Martian potting soil is an impossible task. But an Internet search revealed an unlikely supplier: NASA.“The US space agency makes ground similar to that on the Moon from sand found in an Arizona desert, while Mars'crimson ‘soil’is scooped (舀；掏) from a volcano in Hawaii，” Wamelink told reporters.The first experiments started in 2013 after Wageningen received an order of 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of NASA's imitation “space soil” — at a hefty price of 2,000 euros (＄2,285).“To work in this soil was very special. Nobody, not even NASA, could tell us what would happen, even just by simply adding water，” he said. The imitation ground at first was a little “reluctant” (勉强的) to absorb water, but soon turned out to be good potting soil.“Especially in the Martian soil, plants were growing very fast and very good. They even started to flower, something that we never anticipated (预料，预见)，” Wamelink said.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre-reading[原文呈现]A PIONEER①FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land② to do his research.

Unit 2 Working the land袁隆平是杂交水稻研究领域的开创者和带头人，一直致力于杂交水稻的研究，被称为“杂交水稻之父〞。
通过本文一起来了解一下吧！Road to super hybrid riceBorn in a poor farmer's family in 1930 and as a graduate of the Southwest Agriculture Institute in 1953，Yuan Longping began his teaching career at an agriculture school in Anjiang，Hunan Province.He came up with an idea for hybridizing ricein the 1960s，when a series of natural disastersand inappropriate policies caused China tosuffer a severe famine that led to manydeaths.Since then，he has been devoting himselfto the research and development of a better ricebreed.In 1964，he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had obvious advantages over others.Greatly encouraged，he began to study the elements of this particular type.In 1973，in cooperation with others，he was finally able to establish a plete process of creating and reproducing highyielding hybrid rice species.The next year they successfully cultivated a type of hybrid rice species which had great advantages.It yielded 20 percent more per unit than that of mon ones，putting China in the lead worldwide in rice production.For this achievement，he was called the “Father of Hybrid Rice〞．In 1979，his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States，the first case of intellectual property rights transfer in the history of the People'sRepublic of China.However，the debates among scientists about whether quality or quantity should take priority are frequently heard.In the underdeveloped world，the increasing output is no doubt the primary concern，while people in developed countries prefer highquality rice.Yuan was asked to change his major concern from increasing output to improving quality and taste—a task easier to acplish for him.But Yuan was unswayed (未受影响的)．He firmly believed，in developing countries，the increasing output outweighs the urgency for a better taste，and that his foremost task was to increase the grain reserve in developing countries，instead of the quality problem of his super hybrid rice.“First we must have enough food，then es eating well，〞 he said.[阅读障碍词]1．inappropriate adj.不恰当的；不合适的2．famine n．饥荒3．element n．要素4．cultivate vt.耕作，种植5．transfer vt.使转移6．priority n．优先，优先权[诱思导读]根据短文内容，选择最正确答案1．Why was Yuan Longping called the “Father of Hybrid Rice〞？A．Because he devoted himself to cultivating super hybrid rice.B．Because he graduated from the Southwest Agriculture Institute.C．Because his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States.D．Because he and his team cultivated a hybrid rice species with great advantages.2．What can we infer from the passage?A．Yuan made such great achievements all on his own.B．People were in favor of his idea at first.C．More energy needs to be put into rice quantity in developed countries.D．Yuan Longping pays more attention to rice quantity than rice quality.[答案] 1.D 2.DⅠ.匹配以下单词的词性及汉语意思( )1.sunburnt A．n.战役；战斗；较量；斗争vt.&vi.搏斗；奋斗( )2.struggle B．vt.& vi.配备；装备( )3.decade C．vi.& n．斗争；拼搏；努力( )4.output D．n.饥饿；欲望vt.& vi.(使)饥饿( )5.expand E．n.十年；十年期( )6.battle F．adj.晒黑的( )7.freedom G．vt.& vi.使变大；伸展( )8.therefore H．n.自由；自主( )9.equip I．n.产量；输出( )10.hunger J．adv.因此；所以；因而[答案] 1－5 FCEIG 6－10 AHDⅡ.选择以下句中词组的汉语意思A．毕业于B．除去C．关心D．对……感到满意E．多亏了F．宁愿；宁可G．为……而奋斗H．怀有……的希望( )2.Robert graduated from YaleUniversity with a master's degree in finance in 1998.( )3.Lucy would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema with her parents.( )4.We should help those who are still struggling for survival and peace.( )5.I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to rid myself of bad habits.( )6.The campaign calls on us to care about the animals.( )7.With the hope of getting the job，he went to the job market.( )8.We really want to know whether you are satisfied with the result.[答案] 1－8 EAFGBCHDA PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists，Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer，for he works the land①to do his research.Indeed，his sunburnt face and arms and his slim，strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers，for whom he has struggled for the past five decades.Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid(杂种的) rice②．In 1973，he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice③ that has a high output.This special strain(品种；种类) of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop(产量) in the same fields.Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.造福全人类的先驱尽管是中国最著名的科学家之一，但袁隆平认为自己是个农民，因为他在田间耕作，进行研究。

Do you like poems？Do you know how to enjoy the beauty
of poetry? Please read the following passage to get the answer.
NK runs from the corners of my mouth
There is no happiness like mine
I have been eating poetry ... American poet Mark Strand wrote these words about 50 years ago.Now budding (萌芽的) Chinese poets have been
“The math genius we are so proud of doesn’t know how
to use an abacus /The music prodigy (神童) we produced doesn’t know jiao, zhi, gong, shang (角，徵，宫，商，我国古 代音阶中的四个音)，” read some of Liu’s lines.The poem expresses Liu’s dream of carrying on Chinese traditional
coming together to “eat poetry” with the same happiness as
Strand.
Nearly 200 people took part in the first National Poetry Congress for High School Students, held at Suzhou No.10 High School in Jiangsu.Adults and teenagers from the country’s 25 high schools gathered together.They recited their works, exchanged thoughts and wrote poems on the spot.
“I’ve never felt so close to poetry before，” said Gao
Can from the High School Affiliated to Xi’an Jiaotong
University.The 16yearold said that, in her experience,
creating poems is not as difficult as people think.“Anything you want to say could make a poem, just keep your eyes open and try，” she said.
It seems that Liu Yujia from the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University has done just that.In the poem I Have a Dream, Liu makes sharp observations of history and current social phenomena with all the freshness and energy of a teenage mind：
doesn’t help in exams，” he said.“I want to argue that getting
close to poems is a way of releasing pressure and of being ourselves.This can help us grow up happily.Isn’t being happy more important than exams？” Liu Yuanzhao, the school principal, agreed with Wang.He explained why Suzhou No.10 High School started the event.
“Most students nowadays have to do everything in order
to get good grades in exams or go to key schools，” Liu said.“They may forget to take care of their souls”． “We are not trying to make every kid a poet，” he continued.“We just want to encourage them to think like a poet, that is, be sensitive and sincere towards the world.”
culture.
Wang Zhongpei from Suzhou No. 10 High School said he fears that poetry is disappearing from campuses today.
“Some say writing or reading poems is useless since it
